The book combines popular science with groundbreaking concepts, offering insights into his mind-boggling theories. It also reflects on the triumphs and challenges he has faced as a scientist. The book appeals to a wide range of science readers and presents complex ideas in an accessible way.

Praise for “Our Mathematical Universe”

“This is science writing at its best—dynamic, dramatic and accessible. . . . Our Mathematical Universe is nothing if not impressive. Brilliantly argued and beautifully written, it is never less than thought-provoking about the greatest mysteries of our existence.”

— Amir Alexander, The New York Times

“Our Mathematical Universe is a fascinating and well-executed dramatic argument from a talented expositor.”

— Peter Woit, The Wall Street Journal

“The book is an excellent guide to recent developments in quantum cosmology and the ongoing debate over theories of parallel universes. . . . Perhaps this book is proof that the two personalities needed for science—the speculative and sceptic—can readily exist in one individual.”

— Mark Buchanan, New Scientist
